I had no way of knowing you were talking about a bike, but it doesn't matter. If you turn the idle screw, and nothing happens, then you will have to rebuild the carburetor, or look for a vacuum leak that is keeping the idle screw from working. My brothers bike did the same thing, and it turned out he had to get a kit and rebuild the carburetor before he could get it to adjust. It's probably hard to start, and I'll bet the thing backfires when you get down on the throttle too. It sounds to me like its getting way too much fuel, and this is usually caused by the float and/or the needle valve not closing off. The needle valve in these carburetors are not the best in the world, and they are bad to let fuel go past them even when the float is trying to shut it off. The result will be no way to adjust the idle speed. Are you sure you are turning the right screw for the idle? I know that is a stupid question, but I have seen cases where people thought they had the right screw, but it turned out to be an air adjustment screw they were turning. There should be some kind of change in the speed even if the carburetor was totally shot. Another thing is; the screw could be stripped, and not moving even though it is turning. Can you manually make the idle speed come up? If so, then there is something wrong with the screw. How does it run outside of the idle thing? Does it pop through the carburetor when you accelerate? Do you have a restriction in the fuel line, tank, or filter? Think maybe the fuel line has a pin hole in it causing it to suck air?
You asked the question under the wrong part. Click on cars & transportation, and then click on motorcycles, and then Suzuki, and you will get more/better answers.
Glad to help out, Good luck!!!

I have a 1994 Katana that did the same thing. I bet it bogs down a bit when u hammer it. I just had to clean the jets. Order a service manual off the net and its pretty easy (while you have the carbs off turn the idle screw in till it touches and then do 1 full turn. then you can play with it when its back together to get the optimum idle level.). If you prefer to have a shop work on it it cost about $100 (just so you know). Good luck

Most likely you have a vacuum leak or a hose came unplugged.
If you can't find a leak rebuild your carburetors but before that get an compression test done you might have an intake valve not closing properly.

Well, two questions to your one. 1- How long did you run it for without the mufflers? If you ran it for more than three minutes you may have bent a valve or two. 2- Do you have a Shop Manual? If not, I strongly advice you to find one.
